sFOund-Incident in the His 3
tory of a Quiet Community.
The Mount Lebanon (New
York; Shakers are a quiet COM
tnunity, secluded from the fret
and worry of the outside world.
They are widely known, how
ever, for their strict honor and
probity in business.
y The Shakers believe that ma
Nlre has remedy for every dis
ease. A few have been found---
the rest are as yet unknown.
Many were discovered by acci-
dent. Others came to Light as,
the result Of patient experiment
and research.
Nervous Dyspepsia is COM
paratively 'aeaadisease, growing
out OF the conditions Of modern
life. 1t is a joint affection of
the digestive organs and Of the
nervous system. These two
were formerly treated as sepa-
rate ailments, and it was left
for the clear-sighted Shakers
to prove that the basis of this
terrible and often fatal compli-
cation lies chiefly in the disord-
cred and depraved functions of
digestion and nutrition. They
reasoned thus:-s1f we can in
duce the stomach to do it's
work, and stimulate the excre-
tive organs to drive out Of the
body the poisonous waste mat
ters which remain after thelife-
giving elements of the food
have been absorbed, we shall
have conquered Nervous Dys-
pepsia and Nervous Exhaust
ion. And they were right.
Knowing the infallible power
Of Shaker Extract {Seieels
Syrup in less complicated
though similar diseases,
they resolved to test it fully
in this. To leave no ground
for doubt they prescribed the
remedy in hundreds of cases
which had been pecnounced In
curable-with perfect success
in every instance where their
directions as to living and diet
were scrupulously followed.
Nervous Dyspepsia and Ex-
haustlon is apeculiarly Ameri-
can disease. To a greater or
less extent half the people of
this country suffer from it
both sexes and all ages. In no
country in the world are there
SO many insane aaylnms filed
to overdowing, all resulting
from this alarming disease. Its
leading symptoms are these:
Frequent or continual head
ache; a dull pain at the base
Of the brain; bad breath; nau-
seous eruetations; the rising
Of sour and pungent fluids to !
the throat; a sense Of oppress-
ion and faintness at the pit Of
The stomach; fatulence; wake
fulness and loss of sleep; dis
gust with food even when
weak from the need Gift; sticky
or Shiny matter on the teeth or
N the mouth, especially on ris-
ing in the morning; furred and
coated topg9le: as.ll eyes; cold
hands and fa>s; aonstipation;
Try or rousi. alt;'. inability to
TX the mine 81 aey labor call
ng for con,ie~9;.s attention;
md Oppressive and sad fore
bodings aaa fears,
All this terrible group
Shaker Extract (seigel's
syrup removes by its pos
tive, powerful, direct yet
painless and gentle action upon
he functions Of digestion and
assimilation. Those elements
Of the food that build up and
strengthen the system are sent
upon their mission, while all
waste matters (the ashes of life's
ire) which unremoved, poison
md kill, are expelled from the
body through the bowels, kid
neys and skin, The weak and
prostrated nerves are quieted,
toned and fed by the purified
blood. AS the result, health,
with it's eniovmeeptg, blessings
and power, tfefy.,gsls to the suf-
ferer who hasl, perhaps, aband-
oned all hope Of ever seeing
another well day.
